You can register the judgment in the New Zealand High Court, or in a lower court that can make the same types of orders as those in the Australian judgment.

The same rules apply regarding the types of judgments that can and can't be registered.

Australian judgments imposing civil financial penalties or limited types of criminal fines can also be registered in New Zealand:

The criminal fines that can be registered in New Zealand are set out in the Trans-Tasman Proceedings (Regulatory Regime Criminal Fines) Order 2013. These criminal fines relate to regulatory offences, such as offences under fair trading or banking laws.

Judgments imposing criminal fines must be registered in the New Zealand High Court.

These types of judgments are registered in the same way as a civil court judgment.
